Sculpture & Aesthetics
We have a soft spot for skulls. The hollow eyes, the cheekbones, that unmistakable grin. Somehow, there’s always room for another—especially when something about it catches you: the shape of the face, an unusual marking, the way it looks from one particular angle. That’s the fascination we bring to carving them.
That affection carries into the carving. We pay attention to the cheekbones, the shape of the jaw, and how the face changes as you turn it in your hand. Natural stone adds another reason to look closer: a vein crossing the brow, a change of color along the cheek, a detail you only notice after living with it for a while. We want to make the kind of skull we would stop to admire—and immediately start making room for.
Leopard Skin Jasper
Leopard Skin Jasper is a commercial name for patterned carving rock, commonly associated with spotted or orbicular rhyolitic material. Its opaque surface combines cream, beige, grey, black, brown, rust red and ochre tones in rounded spots, rings, broken arcs and irregular markings.
Dense material can take a smooth, bright polish that brings these contrasting patterns across the carved surface. Broad curves may reveal complete rings, while smaller details show short arcs and colour fragments. Pattern placement, natural cavities and mineral boundaries vary from piece to piece.
I believe in leopard skin jasper’s energy of grounding, self-discovery, and growth. I would choose a carving as company for a new chapter, with the intention of staying steady while I find my own direction.

Natural Variation & Care
Natural veils, inclusions and variations in color are part of the material’s character. Appearance may vary with lighting and screen settings.
Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, then dry. Protect thin edges and natural fractures from impacts, harsh chemicals, thermal shock, steam, and ultrasonic cleaning.
Support the carving by its main body or solid base. Protect the teeth, jaw and thin carved edges from knocks and pressure.
